No commitments?

Well, at least Nebraska is still recruiting Dylan (as of course they should). Coaches Sat and his Uncle visited him recently in Arizona to continue recruiting him. But so did the Georgia coaches.

Opinions?

16 teams, no divisions, only 8 SEC opponents, and only 1 additional Power 5 matchup.

“Best Conference in College Football”

This kid has proven me a fool for judging his early recruitment period! His story is fantastic!!

It's been swirling around the internet all weekend but yes Nebraska outside linebacker commit Willis McGahee took an official visit to UCF. I reached out to ask what the biggest reason was he wanted to take the visit.

"Before I committed to Nebraska I gave my word to Coach Ingram that I would take an OV to UCF regardless of what happened," McGahee said. "I wanted to honor my word to Coach. He’s one of my favorite coaches in the country. Before I committed to Nebraska, I told Coach Rhule and the staff that I was going to continue to communicate with UCF and take an OV. Coach Rhule not only said he was fine with it but encouraged me to visit wherever school I thought I might like. He told me he wants not only the best of the best but the best of the best that truly want to be a Cornhusker."

Pretty mature response from a kid heading into his senior year. Rhule stance actually made McGahee feel better.

"I like the fact that he wasn’t pressuring me to do to or not to do something," McGahee said. "Made me feel like the kids that end up there will really want to be there. Made me feel really good about my commitment there."

It certainly sounds like the Florida defender will be back in Lincoln as soon as possible.

"Definitely going back! I going to take my OV in the fall to see the atmosphere on game day," McGahee said. "I’m probably going to go back in the summer on an unofficial too. I went to spend as much time up there as possible before I sign."

Noon - Maryland (2) vs Northeastern (3)
ESPN+ for the subscribers.
Live Stats if you want to peek in on the action.

Terps have a tough draw, sent to Wake Forest the overall 1 seed and meeting Northeastern (44-14) who beat Maryland 9-2 three weeks ago.

I'm not sure what to think about this

on one hand, we're #1
on the other, I'm kind of inclined to think athletic profits should be spent on trying to get better at athletics

Looking for a Fridate movie suggestion....TIA.

He is currently touring with Brooks and Dunn. Should be a fun evening!

Buford is a 4 star on all other sites but rivals

Does anyone know how to get to best bang for donation bucks?

Had Standing room only past two seasons. Donation made for this year but seems like the list is lengthy and progress will be unattainable for good seat. TIA

Is Nebraska going to be a top 15 program with NIL money. It's hard to find any information on this. Does anyone have any insight on this.

Am I the only one that thinks the new facility is absolutely hideous? Who was the guy who signed off on the design of this.


The design matches none of the other buildings on campus. Especially the west side of memorial stadium, which it not only is directly next to, but is actually covering a portion of it.

This is the equivalent of putting a Kwik Trip next to the Vatican.

For a building you hope has at least 50 years of use, you’d think they wouldn’t go with such a ridiculous design that will surely be outdated in 10 years. Should have matched west stadium façade.

I’m sure functionality is fine. But once again, Nebraska missing on the little things.

Got a hold of Idaho four-star receiver Gatlin Bair late last night. He let me know that this summer he's got official visits locked in with TCU, Oregon and Michigan. There is no Nebraska visit set up currently but he had always planned to save Nebraska's official for during the season so he could see a game at Memorial Stadium. He felt he got a pretty good look at Nebraska during his trip in the spring.

Right now, he's unsure about when he'd like to pick a college even though his original plan was to pick this summer.

=======================================

Today in Sports History - June 5

1963 - The NHL held its first amateur draft. Twenty-one players were selected. Montreal chose first and selected Garry Monahan.

1967 - The NHL awarded six new franchises: the Minnesota North Stars (now Dallas Stars), Oakland Seals, Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and St. Louis Blues.

1977 - The Portland Trailblazers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in six games to win the NBA championship.

1977 - The Los Angeles Dodgers retire Walter Alston's #24.

1981 - Nolan Ryan passes Early Wynn as MLB's all-time walks leader with 1,777.

1989 - The Toronto Blue Jays lost their debut game in the Skydome against the Milwaukee Brewers.

1991 - Brett Hull (St. Louis Blues) won the Hart Trophy. The feat created the first father-and-son team to win the Hart Trophy.

2016 - Novak Djokovic became the first man in nearly a half-century to win four consecutive major championships, finally earning an elusive French Open title with a win over Andy Murray to complete a career Grand Slam.

1st impression... a dandilion field along side of the course.
Turning into the driveway we had to stop for a guy stirring rocks with a golf cart pulling a drag (he turned out to be the guy that checked us in and sold us beer). Dandilions were literally every where including the fairways and greens but literally carpeted the roughs between the fairways. Greens had more sand than grass, two were circles drawn in the fairways. Holes from diggings and broken water line parts were on every hole especially on the tee boxes. These were not fresh diggings (I have trenched, plowed or bored miles of conduit and cable).
While playing 18 holes we witnessed one person mow around a tee box then went back to the barn never to be seen again. Another "arreated" a green then went back to the barn never to be seen again. That was the sum total of work we witnessed on a very sweet course layout that was desperate for some loving.
The previous week they had an AR tournament. All the signs of sponsers were still up on the tee boxes, all the trash cans were overflowing and refuse laying around them on the Thursday following the meet. We were informed that they had "recently" hired a new grounds keeper. As we were loading our clubs on the truck and changing shoes I commented to my friend, I hope the new grounds keeper didn't buy a house in town because he is likely NFL.
The Pierce area has very light soils that do not retain moisture as well as other places in Nebraska and we are still recovering and surviving a serious drought but knowing that, there is no excuse for a snails pace on irrigation repairs other than incompententcy and/or lack of funding. Dandilions are some of the easiest lawn pests to control. I would suggest that anyone with experiance in golf course care, ambition and self-motivation should contact board members to layout your vision. Pierce Golf Club is presently losing Her battle against nature in our opinion.
Six pack-$15.

Sorry for the ot subject but I know some of you are Royals fans. We are heading down to a game this weekend and it's our family's first time. Coming in from the north on I29.

What's the best/easiest way to get there? Stay on 29 or cut across on 485? We're going to be staying out by airport and was hoping the experts could give us some tips on how to get there and back.

Thanks in advance?

There are 20 QB's invited, the Elite 11 announced at the end. What would the reaction be if he did not make the 11?

Not prognosticating this, but how much fun would this be?

“I’ve seen Michael Jordan play before I came to the Bulls. You guys have seen him play … He was horrible to play with. It was all 1-on-1, shooting bad shots. All of a sudden, we become a team and we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was. He was a player who was really not at the top of his category. It was scoring.”

There were rumblings that Nebraska could land LB Harrison Taggart, but the Oregon transfer is heading to BYU.
